  • La Roche-Posay Effaclar A Gentle Yet Effective Cleanser for Oily Skin
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser, and it’s a solid choice for anyone with oily, acne-prone, or combination skin. This cleanser provides a deep yet gentle cleanse without leaving the skin feeling tight or dry. Pros: ✔ Effectively Removes Excess Oil – Leaves the skin feeling clean and refreshed without stripping it. ✔ Gentle & Soap-Free Formula – Contains zinc PCA, which helps regulate oil production and reduce breakouts. ✔ Soothes & Calms Skin – Infused with thermal spring water, making it great for sensitive skin. ✔ Non-Comedogenic & Fragrance-Free – Won’t clog pores, and the mild scent is pleasant without being overpowering. Cons: ✖ Not Hydrating Enough for Dry Skin – If your skin is combination with dry areas, you may need a more hydrating cleanser. ✖ Might Not Remove Heavy Makeup – Best as a morning cleanser or a second cleanse if you wear makeup. Final Thoughts: If you struggle with excess oil, shine, or breakouts, this is a great daily cleanser to keep your skin balanced. It cleans deeply without irritation, making it ideal for sensitive, acne-prone skin. ... show more

  • Gentle daily wash

Good daily face wash. It doesn't cause skin irritation and it's effective at cleaning the pores. The product size is good and lasts a long time. Great value for money.

  • First cleanser I actually love!!
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have combination to oily skin. Before using La Roche Posay, I had bumps all over my forehead because of my bangs (which I've had for over 6 years) and I got so disgusted looking at my forehead I needed to do something about it and invest in a good cleanser that was inexpensive. I used to use St. Ives, Clean and Clear, and Neutrogena then my friend let me try some of her La Roche Posay products and I absolutely loved it and bought this cleanser ASAP. After using this cleanser for about two weeks I noticed a difference in my skin and it was clearing up (especially my forehead). I was happy with my purchase. It's super gentle on my sensitive skin and the product lasts a long time. After three months of using this product I found out what works for me. Some tips and tricks with using this product - Know your skin type!!! - Remove any makeup before washing your face - rinse your face with warm water and wash the cleanser off with warm water. After washing, splash your face with COLD water - Make sure to activate the product in your hands before applying it on the face, don't apply it directly after taking the product out - wash your face for a sold minute and a half to ensure a good cleansing - ALWAYS MOISTURIZE RIGHT AFTER CLEANSING OR CONTINUE WITH YOUR SKIN CARE ROUTINE - If you're more combo than oily, only use this cleanser once a day or else it will dry our your skin. If you want to cleanse twice a day, invest in a lighter formula of this cleanser. If you don't moisturize right after or continue with your skin care routine, you won't notice a visible difference. Always hydrate the skin after cleansing. If you're looking for immediate results, this might not be your product. For me with most products, I notice a difference after consistent uses up to two weeks. Patience is key with trying new skin care products because your skin needs to get used to what you're putting on it. Knowing your skin type helps a lot too with finding cleansers and products that will suit your skin needs. Overall, this cleanser from La Roche Posay works for me and I absolutely love the results from it. If you're not into scents or smells, this product has a very light scent. Not fruity, or strong just smells refreshing. ... show more

  • Skincare Junkie with Problem Skin...NO B.S. Honest Review
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am a light complected African-American woman, age 44, who has been dealing with adult acne for a number of years, and have tried almost every expensive cleanser and skin-care product being peddled in department and beauty stores. This was one of the cleansers on my dermatologist's recommendation list, and for once, only after it popped up in some other search I did on Amazon, I decided to try this oil-free gel cleanser from a brand I had NEVER HEARD OF. Flash forward to its arrival and my first time using it. My skin INSTANTLY felt TRULY CLEAN, and smooth, and when I raised my head from rinsing my face in the sink, and was able to see myself clearly in the mirror after patting my face dry, I was AMAZED. No BS! My skin was visibly glowing, and for once, not with oil buildup. Touching my face, it was smooth and soft, and my face did not feel the least bit dry or tight. I was convinced enough to keep using this product, which is so much more reasonably priced than other "miracle" cleansers. It's been more than a month now, and I actually LOVE washing my face, my pores are smaller, and my breakouts have stopped. I am coming back for another bottle so that I can keep one in my shower, and one on my vanity for convenience. I rely heavily on reviews, and I figured it was time that I started writing them, because I buy and try a TON of things in many categories, and I want to help other people decide what could be actually worth their hard-earned money. I can't swear this will work for everyone, as we all have different body chemistry. But NO B.S.--it has been a life-changing product for me, so I only hope if someone else takes a chance on it like I did, they experience the same positively amazing results. Good luck! ... show more
